On the evening of the 10th of Spring, Brakken decides to take dignitaries from both Risur and Danor out for a night on the town, hoping that some fun will form bonds. Your team escorts the group from Hotel Aurum to a fancy club in North Shore, the Sunset Bench.The outing consists of Brakken, Geoff Massarde (a Risur-allied tiefling engineer), and Captain Rosalyn Taylor (a representative from Danor's navy).Brakken leaves Feroz at the consulate, saying, "In Ber, you never bring your bear to a bar."
Serena: "Some days you eat the bear, other days the bear eats everyone that just wants to have a drink and relax…"Brakken laughs.
Serena: "I still want one."
Gaethan: "I thiiiiink you can get one commissioned as an officer…"
Josiah: "Maybe if you were a Druid… otherwise I think it's mostly just tracking dogs."
Carlao: "Really want to give her ideas?"Gaethan grins. "I'm putting the over-under on dropping the idea at two sessions."
Gaethan: "Of meeting and trying to train it."The Sunset Bench is on the ground floor of a five-level building with apartments for the wealthy above it. Every hall and room is gently lit by coloured glass sculptures that have light spells active within.Beyond the foyer and its coat/sword check (RHC priveledges still apply, however, as you're working as bodyguards), the main room of the main club is circular, two hundred feet across, with a sunken central area and small private cubbies dotting the outer walls.At the far end of the sunken area, spot lights illuminate the stage, behind which a curtain leads to the kitchens, dressing rooms, and storage. On the near side by the entrance, glass shelves loaded with various alcohols line the wall behind the bar.
Cpt. Taylor: "Wouldn't a bear get in the way of your work? I imagine a hound would fit better in an urban environment."
Serena: "Armor it, use it as a shock trooper."
Serena: "I mean, you weren't at the docks. This thing is *huge*."
Cpt. Taylor: "That sounds even worse. I can't imagine something like that on my ship. And you're trying to get that thing to fit through doors?"
Josiah: "It's never really about practicality with Serena."Serena gives a mad, mad grin. "The doors would fit just fine. After."
Josiah: "She just gets ideas in her head of what would look cool, or be a fun story to tell… And then… well. Usually we hope she gets distracted before carrying them out."
Serena: "Hey TO BE FAIR usually they are awesome stories."
Josiah: "Maybe AFTER the fact!"
Serena: "That thing with the garden hose notwithstanding."On stage tonight is the last night of a week-long tour staring Rock Rackus. A band backs him up up as he sings, narrates, and jokes about his many exploits across the world.
Josiah: "I thought we agreed to not bring that up again."
Aleith|DM: Brakken leads the group towards a table near the front of the stage, whereupon a group seems to be just leaving their table.Dima just thumbs through a notepad, keep track of prior thoughts.
Brakken: "Looks like we've had some good timing."
Serena: "Yeah, well. Hang on."
[OOC] Gaethan: no dima that's my gimmickDima thumbs through Gaethan's notepad, then.Serena looks under the table for bombs. Fuck bombs. B O M B S. … "I need a drink."Gaethan can't recall where he put his notepad…Gaethan oh dima has it
Aleith|DM: There's no bombs.
Josiah: "Huuh."
Serena: "OK no bombs. I still want a drink."Dima hands it back to him with a gruff nod.
Josiah: "Hey, wasn't there some huge sting on Kell's holding going on this week or something?"Gaethan nods back. Dima probably corrected a few things, he muses, which is probably a good idea.Dima looks out for his bud.
Geoff: "Bombs? Why are you worried about bombs at a club?"
Serena: "Because I wasn't worried about bombs at a college."Serena twitch.
Geoff: "…you were at that mess a couple days ago? My condolences."Josiah‘ gestures towards a table near the back of the room, near the private rooms. "That’s his lawyer over there, right? And a couple of higher ranking officers?"
Gaethan: "I don't know, is it?"
Aleith|DM: That's the lawyer anyway. You're not sure who the man he's speaking with is.
Serena: "It… Hm. Hmmmm."
Josiah: "I'm pretty sure that's Quentin Augst, at least."
Serena: "Oh he is SO gonna owe me for this."
Josiah: "Recognize the faces of some of the goons, but not the guy they're meeting with."
Serena: "Hold the table for a minute."
Gaethan: "…what are you doing."
Josiah: "And word on the street is that Augst is in charge while Kell's on the lamb, yeah?" Josiah sighs, glancing over at at Brakken before giving a grin. "I'm not sure if you're a good luck charm or a bad one, Sir."Dima places a firm hand on the table, taking Serena literally.
Serena: "Sending Bieito a runner. I'll be right back."Gaethan also took that literally, grasping the edge.
Brakken: "I assure you, all I wanted to do was bring some of the delegates to enjoy this man's fabulous stories."Serena slips away for a minute to dispatch a message to RHC HQ. Nothing dramatic.Rock Rackus is currently singing a song about fighting off creatures from the dark side of the moon with the help of the RHC.
Aleith|DM: What's the message?
Josiah: "I can't wait until I hear how he spins this last trip here. Did you know we had him in custody twice in the last couple of months due to multiple framing attempts?"
Dima: "Let's hope it's good luck, then."Gaethan takes Josiah at his word. "I managed to save Flint… without even leaving my cell."
Gaethan: "Something like that, maybe?"
[OOC] Serena: "Quentin Augst at Sunset Beach tonight, some sort of meeting. You're welcome. - Serena"
Josiah: "That's definitely how it starts, yeah."Carlao is mostly listening to Rock Rackus, or at least it looks like that's what he's doing. (What he's actually doing is keeping a paranoid vigil on Brakken.)
Serena: "Somebody definitely has it in for him, yeah."
Josiah: "Well I mean… if even half of his stories have any basis in reality…"
Serena: "Thats why I can't be any more precise than 'somebody' yeah."
Brakken: "I imagine there's at least a kernel of truth to them."
Geoff: "I doubt it. I mean, meeting the rulers of the Unseen Court? Ha! What a lark."
Dima: "Truth is stranger than fiction."
Dima: "You only need to look at some case reports to know why that is."Serena nods at Brakken. "All good lies have a kernel of truth."
Josiah: "I have it on good authority that the one about the fey queen was confirmed as true, actually."
Serena: "Really? He's meade of sterner stuff than he looks, then…"
Josiah: "Not quite as embellished has the story goes of course."
Serena: "Well of course, but still."Dima raises an eyebrow and fails to stifle a smirk. "I see that bit of gossip made its rounds, has it? You'd think she'd be more tight-lipped."
Josiah: "Yeah."Serena is keeping her eyes moving around the room as she's chatting, mindful of their two guests. "Aye." A pause. "Literally."
Aleith|DM: It seems to be a bit of a heated discussion, at least on Quentin's end.Gaethan snickers but keeps his words to himself for now.Dima glances around at some other patrons. What was it, red scarves? Would they be that blatant here?
Aleith|DM: Nah, but there's some obvious toughs near Quentin.After half an hour, Rock takes a break to let his band get some drinks, and he makes a point to remind everyone that this is his more casual show, put on by "the greatest venue in the city, Sunset Bench!" He'll be headlining at "a lesser venue, the Navras Opera House, tomorrow night." After that, he hops off the stage to hobnob with the crowd.Brakken nudges first Geoff, then Rosalyn. "Let's go meet this 'famous adventurer' and here what he has to say himself." He seems pretty eager.
Josiah: "Won't be boring, at least."Geoff sighs, but gets up from his chair. Cpt. Taylor gives a mock salute and heads off with the tiefling and the minotaur to see the celebrity.Serena blends into the crowd but stays close.
Aleith|DM: The argument between Augst and the other man gets even more heated, with Augst snapping at a waitress who comes by to offer them drinks, then yelling, "We're not running. That's just throwing money away! We need firepower, not a damn escape route! And because you couldn't just shut up and agree, now I've missed half the show!"Gaethan pays extra attention to the crowd, trying to keep a wide view.Josiah‘ glances over at Dima and Gaethan… decides he’ll be the obvious bodyguard with the diplomat.
Aleith|DM: The man looks like he's trying to calm Augst down, but then the laywer gestures to his nearby bodyguards and starts heading out.Dima glances over at Carlao. "Seems a mark of ours is upset he didn't get to see the show. You're good with words, you want to see if Rock can change his mind and mollify him a little?"
Aleith|DM: Doesn't look like he's going to be here much longerSerena fades deeper into the crowd and vanishes…
Aleith|DM: Stealth check?Serena rolled d20+12 and got 9 ( Total: 21 ) for StealthDima frowns, then edges his way into the crowd, pointing at the departing Augst. "Hey, Rock, did you say something in that last set to upset the crowd back there? Or are you just going to let them walk away?"
Aleith|DM: Yeah that's good enough. They don't spot you slipping through the crowd.Rock looks up from signing someone's abs. "What? I've got plenty of loving fans right here!" he says, gesturing with the pen at the large crowd, including an ambassador and two peace-talk-delegates.
Aleith|DM: Alright. Anyone heading in Serena's direction?Josiah‘ is better put to use at a distance if anything does happen anyway…Dima shrugs, then follows Serena. Or at least where he thinks she went. Just to be around in case something goes south, acting when she does.
Aleith|DM: Alright. Attack roll for your surprise Garrote action, Serena?Serena rolled d20+12 and got 16 ( Total: 28 ) for vs Reflex
Aleith|DM: Yep that’s a hit.Serena rolled 2d4+16 and got 1, 4 ( Total: 21.0 ) for yeah I'm burning my poison on this just to take him out in one move.
Aleith|DM: whatever that's a 23
Aleith|DM: Yoink! Carlao distracts some of the guards for several seconds, which is long enough for you to pull him behind the counter before they notice. He's out cold! [KO!]
[OOC] Serena: Death Attack or something
Aleith|DM: Yeah sure that's probably something she'd have as an actual PC….Carlao is quiet, but effective.Serena hauls the lawyer over the counter and immediately ducks down and under, pulling him out of sight completely.
Dima: "Excuse me, do any of you have the time?"
Aleith|DM: Battle Order: | 28:Liaison | 27:Pistoleer C | 25:Kaea | 25:Scoundrel E | 24:Scoundrel B | 24:Scoundrel C | 20:Scoundrel A | 17:Pistoleer B | 15:Gaethan | 15:Scoundrel D | 15:Pistoleer A | 14:Scoundrel F | 12:Dima | 12:Serena | 11:Carlao | 11:Josiah |
Aleith|DM: Oh right no Kaea. The thugs seem confused.
Aleith|DM: Gaethan?Gaethan doesn't flinch.
Aleith|DM: There's a lot of confusion going around. The guards spread out, asking some patrons if they've seen the man they've been with, asking some of the staff, but….
Aleith|DM: Serena, another Stealth check?Gaethan casually watches over the ambassadors, instead.
Aleith|DM: Either that or a Bluff checkCarlao acts casual.Serena rolled d20+12 and got 17 ( Total: 29 ) for time to stay hidden
Aleith|DM: And the body, too. Good job.
Aleith|DM: They wander out, several minutes later, with much confusion and hurling of threats at each other for losing him.Serena and the body are hiding underneath Brakkens big-ass coat. God Bless Minotaurs
Aleith|DM: Indeed.
Aleith|DM: Alright. Eventually, Rock Rackus comes back from his break hobnobbing with the crowd and continues his performance.
Aleith|DM: Several minutes after that, Zane shows up.
Josiah: "So… the guy they were meeting with is still here."
Aleith|DM: The man Augst was seen speaking with has left.
Gaethan: "Someone remembers his description, right?"
Aleith|DM: He seems to have disappeared during the confusion.Serena literally puts up a periscope (where the hell does she keep all these gadgets) to watch for Zane, and then hands Augst over with the most unbearably smug face.
[OOC] Josiah: oh ignore me then, his pog never moved so I assumed he was just sitting there haha
[OOC] Aleith|DM: I was just typing that up when you said that, so fair enough.
Zane: "… I'm never gonna hear the end of this one, am I?"
Josiah: "Yeah, I got it."
Serena: "Nope. Happy hunting."
Serena: "Gimme back my garrote first."
Aleith|DM: Alright. The night at the bar wraps up after a few more hours, and much drinking was had. By the delegates, anyway. Hopefully not much drinking on the job….Dima *is* a dwarf. How much can it actually affect his constitution?Serena keeps ordering metheglin. Which turns out to be… water?Gaethan doesn't partake in mind-altering substances, his mind is altered enough.
Aleith|DM: As for Augst, well…
Aleith|DM: He's pretty willing to roll over for what he knows as long as he can get a deal on a reduced sentence.Zane will make that deal. "Aw man, I didn't even have to torture you."
Augst: "I'm not exactly the type to resist. Sorry if that hurts your evening's plans."
Aleith|DM: All in all, the info's worth 10 Task Force Tokens, as well as 2 Strikes.
[OOC] Dima: Woof.
[OOC] Serena: holy fucking shit lol
[OOC] Gaethan: Yeah+!
Aleith|DM: He knows a lot about Kell's operation.
Aleith|DM: According to him, he was practically running it.
Serena: "Its OK, this novel you are helping me write goes a long, long way toward me getting over it."
Aleith|DM: Has been for the past several years.
Aleith|DM: Additionally, Augst tells you what he knows about how they transfer materials to the Bleak Gate for the Ob.
Aleith|DM: There's five arcane sigils that they enscribe on the crates that they send over. The crates get sent down the Stanfield Canal.
Aleith|DM: After passing beneath several bridges, the crates disappear.
Aleith|DM: The Ob hasn't told them anything beyond 'put these on the crates and send them down the canal' but he's done some investigating on his own.
Aleith|DM: There's 5 bridges with rings of rusted metal worked into the stone on the underside, and they have sigils of their own enscribed on them matching the ones they put on the crates.
Aleith|DM: He sketches the sigils for you.Dima is writing all of this down, of course. Someone's got to be the scribe…
Aleith|DM: However, he tried sending some tests through when the Ob weren't expecting shipments. The crates would disappear, but it popped up back in the water a few minutes later, bobbing in place. Augst's not sure if the Ob can turn their gates on and off, or if there's some extra process at the end that's required to make the transition permanent.
Zane: "I know a couple of pretty clever types. They can probably figure this out. … Are you sure I can't torture you even a little? Break a finger or two maybe? No? Nothin'?"
Aleith|DM: Alright, that went pretty well. You can all switch over now.
[OOC] Zane: B Team your stats are subpar but you still get shit done <3
Augst: "Yes, I'm sure. I know a good lawyer I can countersue you with for police brutality…"
Phyllis: "Oho, though my touch is a bit more gentle."
Phyllis: "You've been very cooperative. Good boy."Zane considers. "Probably wouldn't be good for my record to have a brutality complaint hanging around. I suppose you can pass this time."
Gerald: "We should probably ask him what the meeting at the bar was about…?"
Aleith|DM: He was trying to get backup from the Ob due to your guys' crackdown.
Aleith|DM: The Ob wanted to pull him, Kell, and a few of their lieutenants out and give up the operation, but Augst wasn't going to go along with that. After all, there's money to be made if they could only drive you off….Chandrasekhar pats Zane on the shoulder consolingly.Zane looks sad. Then perks. "Speaking of. Where the hell *is* Kell?"
Phyllis: "The Theater of Scoundrels is looking more and more like a house of cards each day."
Ernst: "What's next on the agenda anyways?"Augst shrugs. "He's left the Theatre and gone into hiding. He's got a few different safehouses, and I don't know where all of them are."
Aleith|DM: What's on your schedule tonight for dealing with an incoming shipment for the radicals?
Aleith|DM: You've got a dock they're probably landing at.Garrett‘ is scouting the dock as we speak.
Aleith|DM: What time?
[OOC] Garrett: go time
Aleith|DM: That’s not an answer….
[OOC] Garrett: I wasn't really expecting the question
Aleith|DM: It's been asked, though.
Aleith|DM: Alright. You show up in the evening around dinnertime and the dock's quiet.
Aleith|DM: It's a bit after 10 when some dockers start wandering over to the dock.
[OOC] Phyllis: Just Garrett? Or more of us?Zane brought people coffee. And sandwiches. And chocolate.Ernst probably can chill on a roof with a rifle or something. He shouldn't be on the ground though he's bad at stealth.
Aleith|DM: I'm assuming that eventually you're all there.
Aleith|DM: Probably just missing Zane and Gerald at first, Gerald shows up a bit later, and then Zane around 10.
Zane: "(I swear to all the tiny gods, if I wasn't trying to be sneaky right now I'd be whistling. Also remind me I owe Serena something terribly expensive and probably sharp.)"Gerald‘ glances at Ernst, glances down at the docks after turning up. "Man, I reeeeally need to get around to actually building those scopes now that I got the blue prints all sorted out."
Garrett: "(You shouldn’t date your coworkers, Zane.)"
Aleith|DM: Around 10:30, a few dwarves show up and start organizing the dockers.
Phyllis: "(Dima and I have a strictly professional relationship, sadly.)"Chandrasekhar snorts.
Zane: "(Never touched her, man. Though after tonight I could damn near kiss her on the mouth.)"
Phyllis: "(Are those our marks? Let me know if you need some scrying or other, well, reconnaisance.)"
Gerald: "…Wait actually I did that a few weeks ago. It's even in my pouch! Here gemme a sec to attach it, Ernst. Made a whole bunch of 'em."
Garrett: "(Yeah, well, if she shows up with punture wounds below her lips- oh, hey, something's happening.)"Ernst lets out a deep sigh. "(Party too hard on your last venture, did we?)"
Aleith|DM: Alright. Perception checks?
Zane: "(Hey man, some ladies appreciate a man with tusks…)"Garrett‘ rolled 1d20+13 and got 12 ( Total: 25 ) for perceptionZane rolled d20+10 and got 11 ( Total: 21 ) for haha Pereption

Aleith|DM: It’s a bit after 11 when you see a ship start to pull close. And that's pretty much due to how close it's getting-the whole ship's dark, not a light to be seen. You could've sworn it wasn't even there until a couple hundred feet out when it just sort of faded into sight.
Gerald: "Wow that's some good camo."
Ernst: "We know what the cargo is?"
Gerald: "Something dangerous."
Phyllis: "Reagents for the bomb, I recall?"
Phyllis: "Shouldn't you know?"
Garrett: "(Yeah, definitely not blowing the hull out of this one…)"
Garrett: "(… though how are they going to get the cargo off?)"
Zane: "(Bug *gods* can you imagine? Would make that one ship look like a damned firecracker…)"Zane snickers quietly.
Ernst: "(I wouldn't recommend it if it does stock the bomb materials unless you want to lose the port and some nearby dockers.)"
Zane: "(Well obviously not *now*, I woulda done it in the harbor.)"
Aleith|DM: The boat pulls up, and the dockers start heading over to the boat to start unloading it.
Phyllis: "(Frayed chronosomia, if … if I remember right, and if I'm correct in mapping those notes to this shipment.)"
Garrett: "(We should get the dockers out of there now, then.)"
Ernst: "(Suppose we'll find out shortly. I can't imagine that bomb is the only trick they have up their sleeve regardless.)"Gerald‘ starts lining up a shot with his scoped rifle, on that important looking fellow in the cloak as soon as he steps off the boat.
Aleith|DM: A couple of dockers start getting a crane ready to go.
Garrett: "(Take it whenever you’re ready.)"Zane nods at Gerald.

Zane: "Well. That’s not the explosives I was expecting. But I'm damn glad we stopped this here."Ernst takes his shotgun before sighing. "You have no idea how disorienting it is to be looking through a scope and Stocke at the same time."

At short range, the shroud does not affect attack rolls.
